[NCUC-EC] Implementation of new bylaws - Vice-chair election and Policy Committee NCUC

Wed Jun 13 23:17:50 CEST 2018

Dear all,

As announced before, I would have interest in running for Vice-Chair, here
follows my SOI:

*Experience in ICANN My involvement with ICANN started with ICANN58, which
I attended as a first time fellow. One week prior to the Copenhagen meeting
I had the chance to participate at the NCUC session at the Internet Freedom
Festival that later resulted with me as an NCUC member. After the
Copenhagen meeting, I was selected as NCUC fellow during ICANN59 and had
the chance to engage with the New gTLD subsequent procedures PDP WG and
also to make a short presentation on Geographical Names that was later
transformed into a NCUC Blog Post
<https://www.ncuc.org/2017/08/24/icann59-report-geographic-names-and-new-gtlds-in-the-center-of-internet-policymaking/>.
Other than that I have served as Fellowship coach for the Abu Dhabi
(ICANN60) and San Juan (ICANN61) meetings and in the upcoming Panama
Meeting (ICANN62). I was elected as the representative for the Latin
American and Caribbean region at the Executive Committee in November, 2017.
Regarding public comments and PDPs, I am a member of the New gTLD
subsequent procedures PDP WG, an observer at the new gTLD Auction Proceeds
CCWG and recently joined the CCWP Human Rights. I have also contributed to
the NCSG's Public Comment contribution to the GNSO Community Comment 2
(CC2) on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process and the
recent Release for Registration one .COM Domain Name with a
Single-Character Label: O.COM <http://o.com/> NCSG Public Comment.NCUC and
goals The following is an excerpt from my EC candidacy SOI: As for my
visions regarding NCUC and how my participation would be useful, given the
fact that my affinity with the group and what it advocates for, I believe
in making it even more participative through a few measures: 1.
Communication: I think it would be important for the LAC members to be
aware of all the ways NCUC is acting in the region. Having said that, I'd
say that a good regional representative at the EC is the one who can pass
on information to his community on a monthly basis. By sharing information
on how to get involved, and where does the NCUC needs help, I believe we
can achieve even higher levels of engagement. 2. Outreach-inreach: given
the fact that NCUC members are important internet governance
actors/researchers/activists in all of the different regions of the globe,
I think it is of utter importance for them to know who else is alongside
them and also who they could reach out to in any subject they wish; I also
admire a lot Renata's work during her term and achieving her level of
presence and participation is also a goal. Therefore, if I were elected I'd
also like to continue with her monthly calls and activities regarding the
mailing list in order to strengthen NCUC's relation with the LAC community
and for that I'd like to count with my fellow LAC members ! Having worked
in the local level since 2009, Civil Society's claims and the obstacles
that activism often encounters such as lack of space from governments are
of my understandment.  Despite the fact that my active participation at
ICANN and NCUC is quite recent, Internet Governance is not a new subject to
me. I believe that I would be a good LAC Region Representative at the
Executive Committee due to the fact that Im willing to advocate for a more
inclusive and equal Internet and will also have the will of continuing to
pursue NCUC's participation within the IG community.In terms of
Constituency goals, I believe they remain the same presented above but now
applicable to the constituency level. At the time I have highlighted the
importance of fostering communications with members and of the Constituency
recent actions and also strengthening NCUC's relations not only with the
region I am located at but also with the plethora of members we have spread
around the world and I still believe in those as very important
values/steps to take.Apart from that, improving NCUC participation in
policy work is something I value and have been committed to at the EC
level, therefore, I strongly believe in our members working closely with
the NCSG PC representatives in order to build capacity within the
constituency and become even more participative in echoing the CS voices in
policy related discussions. In that point, I think that as a Constituency
we could reach higher levels of participation once the right bridging
between incoming members and PDP active members is done - and I plan to be
available to help Renata with whatever else she needs.  About me My name is
Bruna Martins dos Santos and I am the advocacy strategist at Coding Rights,
a women lead Think-and-Do tank that aims to advance in the enforcement of
Human Rights in the digital world by integrating usages and understandings
of technology into policy making processes. On the academy note, I hold a
BA in Law with experience in Internet Regulation, and I am 27 years old and
live in Brasilia, Brazil. I have previously worked as a legal advisor at
the Brazilian Government, covering Internet Governance issues and being
responsible for issuing legal opinions regarding transparency and on the
implementation of the Access to Information Act. In that capacity, I have
also participated in the organization of NetMundial and on the regulatory
discussions regarding Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Civil_Rights_Framework_for_the_Internet>
and the Data Protection draft bill.Apart from my government background, I
am alumni of the Brazilian School on Internet Governance (EGI.br), a
Brazilian Internet Steering Committee fellow at the 9th Latin America and
Caribbean Regional Preparatory Meeting for the Internet Governance Forum
(LACIGF), an active member of the ISOCs SIG Group Youth Observatory
<http://obdjuv.org/> and SIG Women. I am also a contributor to the IGF's
Best Practice Forum on Gender and Access as an independent researcher and
one of the authors of the Young Latin American Women Declaration: Enabling
access to empower young women and build a feminist Internet Governance, a
statement addressing the importance of ensuring a safe online environment
for women online. Apart from that, I also hold the position of
Co-Coordinator of the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) and
represent the ICG at the Civil Society Coordination Group
<http://internetgov-cs.org/> (CSCG) and attended IGF 2017 as an ISOC
Ambassador.*

Best,
Bruna
